Only athletic directors and school administrators with the appropriate permission level. Coaches and parents cannot view the log. Access to the audit log is itself logged, so you always have a record of who reviewed compliance documentation and when.
Audit logs are retained for the duration of your subscription plus a 90-day data export window after cancellation. Long-term archiving options are available for districts with specific FERPA retention requirements beyond the standard period.
